He did loads to help the people and Roman soldiers as well. Sure mainly did it to gain broad appeal and power but I'd rather someone help me in their own self interest when I'm poor and starving than not help me it all. If you study Caesar's military and political campaigns you quickly begin to see he was a straight up genius. The Senate tried to quash anyone who gained too much popularity and power because it threatened their stranglehold on grift from the state. I personally thing Caesar would have kept the Senate and Rome in many ways if he wasn't killed. I also wish he could have finished his Parthia campaign, world history would be better for it.
